1 Gifts should normally be refused or returned where staff have direct involvement in decisions affecting the giver or where they are worth more than about £25. Where a gift above the £25 threshold cannot be refused or returned without damaging relations, officials should inform their Human Resources Business Partner and line manager, who will decide whether to return the gift to the official, offer the official the option of paying for it or reciprocating from their own pocket, use it for the department or otherwise dispose of it.
